One café. One Christmas deadline. Two chances at love. Rachel Clark believes in two things: strong coffee and small-town magic. As the heart behind Bluebell Cove’s beloved café, she’s spent years taking care of everyone else—her customers, her friends, even her aging father—while quietly putting her own dreams on hold. When the café goes up for sale just before Christmas, Rachel has until the holidays to save it from a corporate developer determined to turn Bluebell Cove into something unrecognizable. She’s used to handling everything on her own—but this time, she might not be able to. Ben Callahan, her steady best friend of ten years, would do anything to help her keep the café—even if it means finally stepping out of the shadows and risking his heart. As Rachel scrambles to save the place she loves, Ben quietly works toward a future he hopes she’ll share—one he believes is worthy of her. And as the holidays draw closer, she begins to see that the man she’s always counted on may have been choosing her all along. As Christmas draws near and the snow begins to fall, Rachel finds that saving the café might take more than determination—it might take a little faith in the people who’ve loved her all along.
